drawbridge

[rex64]

I am soooo confused. I treid to make a drawbridge. I would like it to start out down and raise when they press use on it, and then return back down.

I tried to do it with func_door_rotating, however it majorly confused me. I adjusted the origion to the middle of where the 'hinge' would be if I had drawn it.

The drawbridge does crazzy things with everything I tried. Like it will go into the ground and rotate the wrong way.

Origion (XYZ): 600 1976 44
Pitch Yaw Roll: (YZX): -90 0 0
Distance: 90

try func_door instead, and do you want a button to make the door swing or do you just want it to be open on use?

Given that most drawbridges I've seen have rotated relative to a fixed point, I'd say func_door would be totally useless for making one...

Don't forget to set the flags appropriately for what you want to do (you'd want to check the "One Way" flag as well as the appropriate axis of rotation), and as a general rule don't mess with the pitch/yaw/roll of a func_door_rotating.

Awesome!

Awesome. That worked great. Now if I could figure out how to get the draw bridge chains to move with the door? If I change their parent (on the keyframs) it does not draw the ropes right.

Edit: never mind. I got it working
